Shortly before take-off in New York on Monday evening, the rapper reportedly got into a heated confrontation with another passenger for putting her belongings in his first-class luggage space.

According to The Daily Mail, Busta boarded a British Airways flight at JFK Airport just before the doors closed carrying five bags. He discovered that his overhead bin was already occupied before demanding: “Who’s got all their stuff in my locker?”

According to witnesses, he became “agitated, aggressive, and rude” as he hurled insults at a British woman in her late 20s, who began crying after he shouted at her.

“He was ranting and raving, getting really angry and demanding to know why she had used his locker,” said one witness. “He told her to move her stuff immediately.”

Her husband eventually intervened and told him to stop being rude to his wife, who offered to move her luggage from the bin. “The husband was trying to diffuse the situation, to which Busta replied, ‘Let’s go homeboy.’”

As the argument escalated, other passengers got involved and another called British Airways staff to intervene. Passengers were given the option to exit the plane and catch a later flight.

When the plane arrived at London’s Heathrow Airport on Tuesday morning, Busta was met by police officers at the request of a passenger, but was not arrested.

“Officers at Heathrow were requested by the airline of an inbound plane to Heathrow Airport from the US to attend following an alleged verbal altercation involving several passengers,” said a spokesman for the Metropolitan Police. “They boarded the plane once it had landed … and spoke to the parties involved. There were no reported injuries, and no offenses disclosed.”

British Airways also confirmed to Page Six that an incident occurred on board: “Our cabin crew and Captain reassured all the customers involved. All those in the cabin were given the option of moving away, and the flight did not depart until everyone confirmed that they were happy to continue.”

Busta performed on the Greek island of Mykonos on Tuesday and is set to perform at Romania’s UNTOLD Festival on Friday.

Sabrina Claudio is dangerously in love on her new single “Holding the Gun.”

On the smoky slow jam, the R&B songstress celebrates a love that has no limits. “My love for you is infinite / I’d ride and die and live in it,” she sings. “And if my life depends on it / I’d use my last breath to tell you this.”

In the cinematic companion video, Claudio and her man are on the run. The wanted couple drives through the desert in a vintage red convertible on their Bonnie & Clyde-inspired journey.

“‘Holding the Gun’ symbolizes loyalty and an everlasting type of love,” explains Sabrina. “I wanted to make sure that showing violence was not a factor within the visual as violence, conceptually, isn’t what the song is about. The blood and insinuation of crime represents the lengths one would go when so deeply in love.”

“Holding the Gun” marks the first single from Sabrina’s new project, due later this year. The track follows her recent collaborations with Wale (“All My Love”) and BURNS and A$AP Rocky (“Energy”).

This fall, Sabrina will embark on her “Truth Is Tour.” The North American trek kicks off Sept. 21 in Los Angeles and travels across U.S. and Canada through early November.

While A$AP Rocky’s trial is underway in Sweden, a new video has surfaced showing his bodyguard attacking the alleged victim.

In the surveillance video, obtained by TMZ, the security guard appears to grab Mustafa Jafari by his throat, lift him off the ground, and carry him down the street.

The footage was reportedly captured before the street brawl broke out and before Jafari threw a punch at the bodyguard and hit him with his headphones. The 19-year-old claims he was acting in self-defense and was not charged for punching the security guard. The bodyguard was also not charged despite the video evidence.

Earlier this week, Rocky and two other men pleaded not guilty to assault following the June 30 incident in Stockholm. Swedish prosecutors allege that the men “deliberately, together, and in agreement” attacked Jafari.

Rocky’s lawyer, Slobodan Jovicic, said that his client acted in “self-defense” after being followed and harassed by two men, including Jafari. Jovicic says Jafari broke his headphones himself when he tried to punch the bodyguard, who was just “doing his job.”

During Tuesday’s testimony in court, Jafari said he was punched at least 20 times by all four men in the group. “I felt they were going to beat me to death,” he said.

He is seeking about $16,000 in compensation for injuries and lost income. If convicted, Rocky faces up to two years in prison.

Cardi B canceled a performance in Indianapolis on Tuesday out of concern for her safety.

The show at Bankers Life Fieldhouse was postponed less than an hour before it was scheduled to start because of an “unverified threat” to the Grammy-winning rapper.

“This evening, there was a scheduled concert at Bankers Life,” tweeted the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department. “We were notified of an unverified threat to the artist and the artist canceled this evening’s concert – there is no immediate threat to public safety, this not an active incident. Ongoing investigation #IMPDNow.”

The venue confirmed the cancelation on Twitter and announced a rescheduled date of Sept. 11. All tickets for the original date will be honored.
